A.
It is hereby found that the rivers and streams within
the Township of Morris are subject to recurrent flooding, that such
flooding endangers life and damages public and private property, that
this condition is aggravated by encroachments in the floodplain, that
all development within the floodplain contributes to the condition
by decreasing flood storage volume and that the most appropriate method
of alleviating such condition is through regulation of such development
and encroachments. It is therefore determined that the special and
paramount public interest in the floodplain justifies the regulation
of land use located in the floodplain and regulation of storm drainage
for the entire municipal area as provided in this Part 5 which is
in the exercise of the police power of the municipality for the protection
of the persons and property of its inhabitants and for the preservation
of the health, safety and general welfare.
B.
The areas of special flood hazard are identified by
the Federal Insurance Administration in a report titled the "Flood
Insurance Study for the Township of Morris, New Jersey," dated December
1980, which report and any subsequent amendments thereto, including
the accompanying Flood Insurance Rate Maps and Flood Boundary –
Floodway Maps, are hereby adopted by reference and included as part
of this Part 5. Said study is on file in the office of the Township
Engineer.
